Hearing the footsteps, the Ninth Prince stood up, grabbed a scroll and two tiles beside him, and walked out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat down at the table, Gongsun also came over, and the fourth child continued to go into the tiger room to see the little tiger.

Zhao Pu said, "The emperor just told me something."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that Zhao Pu seemed to be in a good mood, so they waited for him to say something.

Zhao Pu opened the scroll, spread it on the table, and showed it to the two of them.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a look, they saw that the portrait was of a young man. He was very thin, had a strange appearance, and his features were unkind.

Gongsun frowned, "Is it because of the painter or is there something wrong with his appearance? Why doesn't he look like a good person?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "Because he is a bad person."

"Who is this person?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"The murderer." Zhao Pu said lightly.

"The murderer of the Oiran case?" the three of them asked together.

"Yes." Zhao Pu nodded, "This person's name is Gao Ruiyuan."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun didn't know who this person was, so he looked at Zhao Pu.

"Gao Rui's uncle is called Gao Fang, a former noble of Erhai." Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Zhao Pu said, "Does Duan Siping know?"

Everyone nodded, the founding emperor of Dali...

"Duan Siping was originally the governor of Tonghai. Because he was persecuted by the leader of Dayi Ning, he raised his troops to destroy Dayi Ning, and then Dali was established." Zhao Pu said, "But Duan Siping did not do it alone.

There were a few people who helped, including Gao Fang. So the Gao family was responsible for the founding of the country, and the heirs of the Duan family didn't know what was wrong with them. Eating food and praying to Buddha was their main job, and being emperor was a side job, so the Gao family basically controlled the government.

Gao Ruiyuan is the son of Gao Fang’s eldest brother. Gao Fang’s eldest brother originally lived in Kaifeng for a while, but he supported another prince instead of the late emperor. Later, when the late emperor succeeded to the throne, Lao Gao, who had made a wrong bet, went back.

Dali. Because Dali has a good relationship with our court, the emperors of the Duan family are relatively virtuous, but after all, they made the wrong bet the first time, and were afraid of affecting the subsequent relationship, so before the emperor ascended the throne, he sent Gao Ruiyuan and brought

A lot of treasure gifts. The bet was right this time, but the problem is..."

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and poked at the portrait, "Before the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was an oiran case in the city. At that time, there was a lot of buzz in Kaifeng City, and there were even rumors that led to the suspicion on the emperor. Later, Nangong went to investigate the case and brought it back.

He took several pieces of jewelry from Yun Baoer, the last deceased person. It was such a coincidence that among the gifts sent by Dali Kingdom, there was also a set of similar jewelry, and one of the rings was given to Concubine Pang by the emperor. Later, it was said that she ran away overnight

I went to Pang's Mansion, threw the ring in the latrine, and washed Concubine Pang's hands for half an hour."

Everyone was dumbfounded, a bit like Zhao Zhen.

"This matter is quite difficult to handle." Zhao Pu said, "The Gao family made a wrong bet before, and this time they are actually here to make amends. If something happens to Gao Ruiyuan in Kaifeng City, then the Gao family will definitely feel that the emperor has a grudge. Then

The relationship between the two countries will never get better. In addition, if the case is made public, it will definitely anger the people in the city. Gao Ruiyuan came on behalf of Dali, which will still affect the relationship. At that time, Liao and Xia were about to make a move. The north was already under attack, and the south was not stable either.

It will be troublesome if you are attacked from both sides. But..."

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly, "The emperor can't bear this tone, this Gao Ruiyuan is a pervert!"

Everyone nodded.

"What happened next?" Gongsun asked.

Zhao Pu lowered his voice and said, "The emperor asked Nangong to seize the man quietly, tie him up in a secluded area of ​​the Cold Palace, cover his mouth, pour water on him, and let him kneel in the harem courtyard in the ice and snow, and freeze to death."

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu in surprise.

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "Those courtesans were also abandoned in the ice and snow. Of course, we must let them taste that feeling."

"What happened next?" Gongsun asked, "How to deal with the body and what happened next?"

Zhao Pu continued, "Of course Nangong did this work. Aren't there many hounds raised in the Imperial City Army barracks?"

Everyone was a little disgusted, "No, the dog has provoked whom? Don't let Lin Yehuo know about this."

Zhao Pu smiled and said, "If you want to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces, of course you have to destroy it completely. After this incident, the post house found that Gao Ruiyuan never returned, so they started to look for it. However, Gao Ruiyuan often disappeared for a period of time, and he did not return to the post house for several days.

It's normal. The emperor even specially asked an artist to paint a portrait. He searched all over the city, but we couldn't find anything, right? After that, I led my troops to sweep north, and Dali was also busy fighting for the throne.

, needed our support very much, so this matter was dropped. Gao Ruiyuan's head was still there. The emperor asked Nangong to put his head in shackles and bury it at the foot of the tomb of several courtesans. The tombstone said:

The word 'sinner'".

After listening to what Zhao Pu said, everyone understood - no wonder the Oiran case was closed before the murderer was caught. It turned out that Zhao Zhen was lynched. This case file is no longer an unsolved case, and it is very involved and classified. It is indeed necessary.

Seal it up.

Everyone felt quite relieved. The murderer had committed many crimes and was unforgivable. This was the fate he deserved!

"But the problem is." Zhao Pu seemed a little worried, picked up the two tiles and put them on the table, "This old matter seems to be causing new waves..."
